Your Chromebook touchscreen isn't responding to touches
Turn your Chromebook off and back on. Then check if the touchscreen is switched off in settings — that's the most common fix. If it's enabled but still not working, clean the screen with a soft cloth.
Chromebook touchscreen problems happen because it's turned off in settings, the screen is dirty, or the touchscreen driver got confused. Most of the time a simple restart and a quick clean solve it. Some Chromebooks have a keyboard button that accidentally turns the touchscreen off.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting to check if the touchscreen is switched off in settings — always do this first
- Using strong chemicals or sprays to clean the screen — soft cloth and water is all you need
- Assuming it's broken when only part of the screen responds — sometimes it just needs calibration
Signs you need professional help
- If the screen is physically cracked or water-damaged — that needs professional repair
- If you've tried all these steps and the touchscreen still doesn't work — the hardware can need replacement
